The $71 Million Legal War: OMG Girlz and MGA Entertainment
One of the most significant updates for the Harris couple in 2024 was a monumental legal triumph that sent shockwaves through the toy and entertainment industries.
1. Trademark Infringement Victory
In September 2024, T.I. and Tiny Harris secured a massive legal victory against MGA Entertainment, the company behind the popular L.O.L. Surprise! dolls. The lawsuit stemmed from allegations of trademark infringement and trade dress misappropriation.
2. The OMG Girlz Connection
The core of the dispute was MGA Entertainment's "O.M.G. Doll" line. The Harrises claimed the doll line was a direct copy of their own girl group, the OMG Girlz, which Tiny created and managed. The similarities in name, branding, and aesthetic were deemed too close by a jury.
3. The Initial and Reduced Award
Initially, a jury ordered MGA Entertainment to pay the Harrises a staggering $71 million in damages. While a federal judge later reduced the final amount, the ruling was still a massive win for the couple, validating their intellectual property claims and establishing a significant precedent in the world of celebrity branding and merchandising. This victory underscores their serious commitment to protecting their business interests outside of music and reality television.
Relationship Resilience and Family Milestones (2025 Updates)
Despite years of public scrutiny, infidelity rumors, and a filed divorce, T.I. and Tiny have demonstrated a remarkable resilience, continually working to repair and strengthen their bond. Their current focus appears to be on their blended family and personal growth.
4. Working Through Turbulence: Counseling and Vows
The couple has been open about seeking marriage counseling to address their issues, a move that has helped them navigate the complexities of their celebrity marriage. While their relationship status has been a constant subject of speculation, they remain committed to each other, with recent reports even hinting at a potential vow renewal to symbolize their renewed dedication. This dedication to their family unit is often cited by fans as the anchor of their long-standing partnership.
5. Welcome to Grandparenthood: King Harris's Baby
In a joyous family update, the Harris clan recently grew larger. T.I. and Tiny's son, King Harris, announced the birth of his first child, officially making the famous couple grandparents again. This milestone adds a new chapter to their family story, highlighting the generational legacy they are building.
6. The Blended Harris Family (7 Children)
The Harris household is a true testament to the modern blended family, comprising seven children from T.I. and Tiny’s respective and shared relationships. The children are often featured in their reality TV ventures and social media, providing a constant source of public interest.
- Zonnique Pullins: Tiny's daughter from a previous relationship (The OMG Girlz member).
- Messiah Harris: T.I.'s son from a previous relationship.
- Domani Harris: T.I.'s son from a previous relationship.

7. Tiny's 2025 Personal Transformation
In a personal update that caught the attention of fans in early 2025, Tiny Harris debuted a noticeable body transformation. She took to social media to share her new, smaller figure, proudly stating, "My a-- is smaller than ever." This public declaration of her fitness journey and personal changes signals a renewed focus on self-care and health.
Navigating Legal Storms: Defamation and Assault Claims
Beyond the trademark battle, the Harrises have had to defend themselves against a series of high-profile, sensitive lawsuits, which they have largely managed to defeat in court.
Dismissal of Sexual Assault Allegations
For several years, T.I. and Tiny faced multiple allegations of sexual assault and misconduct. However, in a significant legal development, a judge granted the Harrises' motion to dismiss a major sexual assault lawsuit filed against them. This dismissal marked a crucial step in clearing their names from the serious accusations that had clouded their public image.
Defeating Defamation Lawsuits
The couple also secured a legal victory by successfully dodging an attempt to reinstate a defamation lawsuit brought by influencer Sabrina Peterson. The judge's decision to decline the reinstatement request provided further legal breathing room for the couple, allowing them to focus on their careers and family life without the immediate threat of this specific legal battle.
The Future of the Harris Empire
As of late 2025, the Harris empire is firmly focused on leveraging their recent legal victories and continuing their entrepreneurial ventures. T.I. continues his work in music, acting, and social activism, while Tiny remains dedicated to her music career, including potential projects with Xscape, and her role as a creative manager and businesswoman.
The couple's ability to weather public storms, overcome significant legal challenges, and maintain a large, blended family unit is a testament to their enduring partnership. With a new grandchild, major legal wins, and a renewed focus on their personal and professional lives, T.I. and Tiny Harris continue to prove that their "family hustle" is stronger than ever.
